Cindy Avelar

My name is Cindy Avelar, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino in 2018 and have been providing clinical services ever since. I work with individuals across the lifespan, from children to older adults, and strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood.

I am especially passionate about helping individuals heal from trauma and believe in meeting each client with compassion, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I am committed to ongoing professional growth and regularly pursue additional training to ensure I provide effective, evidence-based care.

My areas of experience include trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, and working with foster youth. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, empowering clients to build on their strengths, develop resilience, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction.

When you meet me, you’ll find a calm, grounded presence paired with a sense of enthusiasm and optimism.
